Rogue Ops Weapons Available Now
The SOR-300SC carbine stands out as Season 1’s marquee weapon, chambered in .300 Blackout for higher damage per shot compared to standard 5.56mm rifles. This sub-compact carbine delivers 33 damage per shot at 600 rounds per minute, making it devastating in close-quarters combat though its significant recoil challenges mid-range engagements. Unlock it by reaching tier 21 on the Rogue Operators battle pass path.
The Mini Scout sniper rifle offers Recon class players a lightweight alternative to traditional bolt-action rifles. Its key advantage is allowing consecutive shots without unscoping to chamber rounds, paired with low recoil and fast fire rate for aggressive sniping playstyles. However, it lacks damage sweet spot bonuses found on heavier sniper rifles. Access it at tier 21 of the Soldiers of Fortune path.
The GGH-22 sidearm provides a reliable backup option inspired by the real-world Glock 22 with .40 caliber chambering. While individual shot damage sits lower than alternatives like the M45A1, the GGH-22 compensates with faster firing speed and better mid-range accuracy, making it versatile for finishing wounded enemies or emergency close-quarters defense. This pistol unlocks automatically through the intro path for all players.
Two Season 1 attachments require completing specific challenges rather than battle pass progression. Rail Covers increase weapon draw speed for compatible rifles and light machine guns, while the LPVO (Low Powered Variable Optics) scope offers manually adjustable 1x to 4x magnification. Unlock LPVO by dealing 3,000 damage beyond 75 meters and landing 35 headshots through Season 1 challenges.
Upcoming California Resistance & Winter Weapons
California Resistance arrives November 18 with two additional primary weapons and the Slim Handstop grip attachment. DICE hasn’t revealed specific weapon types yet, though community speculation suggests an SMG and shotgun to complement the Eastwood map’s close-quarters suburban combat focus. The Slim Handstop provides ergonomic handling changes as an underbarrel attachment alternative.
Winter Offensive concludes Season 1 on December 9 with the Ice Climbing Axe melee weapon, perfectly themed for the frozen Empire State map variant. This holiday-themed weapon pairs with the Ice Lock limited-time event featuring special freeze gameplay modifiers. No additional attachments have been announced for the final phase.
